Max, (NY, NY): Howdy Jim. I'm hearing talk that scouts are split and some prefer Jeff Marquez to Ian Kennedy. I've been hearing about Marquez for a little while but I haven't seen him pitch or heard a real scouting report on him. Power arm? Finesse guy? Deep repertoire? What does he project as, front end or back? Inquiring minds want to know.

SportsNation Jim Callis: (2:25 PM ET ) I'd still give the edge to Kennedy because I think he pitches above his stuff, but Marquez has better stuff. His power sinker is a true plus pitch with good velo and movement, and his curveball and changeup are solid. I could see him as a No. 3 starter

There you have it Marquez will be #3 starter in the majors and He's better than Masterson.Marquez's former first round sandwich pick which Yankees got for losing David Wells when He signed with D-backs. Meanwhile Masterson is drafted in later rounds. Oops.. Meaning that Marquez is better talent than Masterson. According to scouts and Baseball America , Masterson's future role in will be in The Bullpen/Setup meanwhile Marquez is #3 or #4 starter in Big Leagues.

JB, don't get too carried away. Because one person said he could become a #3 starter doesn't mean he will. I think someone said Wily Mo Pena COULD be the next Manny Ramirez.

And I don't know where you get the Marquez is better than Masterson thing. Jim Callis isn't talking about how Marquez compares to Masterson at all. He's only talking about the upside of Marquez. I've already told you this but I'm not sure you read it. Matserson has a power sinker as well, gets more than twice as many ground balls with it, allows less hits, walks less batters and strikes out more hitters.

"The Boston Red Sox can thank a member of the New York Yankees for one thing.

* If it wasn't for a little encouragement from Yankee closer Mariano Rivera, Jonathan Papelbon may not have developed into the type of pitcher capable of finishing a World Series game with a save for the Red Sox.

Already a pretty good closer himself, Papelbon felt the need of getting a little advice from Rivera during the 2006 All-Star Game.

* “Even though he plays for the Yankees, I sat down and talked with him for about an hour after the All-Star Game was over and just tried to pick his brain,” Papelbon said. “At the end of our conversation, he said, ‘Pap look, you're going to follow me, but you are going to do it for a different team and just always remember that closers have to have a short term memory. You have to walk into the office the next day (after you blow a save) and act like nothing happened.' I've kind of taken that approach.

Papelbon, a former Mississippi State pitcher, was introduced to the Humphrey Coliseum crowd during Tuesday night's basketball game against Kentucky."....

Would Dice-k would do same thing and help Iguana [Igawa] how to pitch If He was put in that situation like Papelbon?
